How to Determine if a Tax Lien Against an Estate Was Forgiven
My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Missouri
My father in law passed away in 2008 and my wife was his only child and the court appointed rep. Probate was settled in 2010 and in 2012 the State of Missouri Dept of Revenue filed a Tax Lien against my deceased father in law. Several months after the Tax Lien was filed there was a Satisfaction of Judgment Filed on the case. We did not pay the tax bill, so did the state forgive or write off this since my father in law was deceased? We need to reopen probate and are wondering if this pervious judgment will cause an issue with the new items that will be presented for judgment?

I suggest you get copies of the tax lien and the satisfaction.
Then you'll have something to talk about.

Should that be available in the local court house (where the case was presented)?

You can start here.

Otherwise it will be filed with the recorder of deeds and the circuit court in the county where the individual resides.
